Advent is the season where
we’re meant to get in touch
with our dysfunction,
our deep need for grace.
--Bishop Robert Barron
The very purpose of religion
is to control yourself,
not to criticize others.
Rather, we must criticize
ourselves. How much am
I doing about my anger?
About my attachment,
about my hatred, about my pride,
my jealousy?
These are the things which
we must check in daily life.
Taking your own body and
mind as the laboratory,
engage in some thorough going
research on your own
mental functioning
and examine the possibility of
making some positive changes
within yourself.
--Tenzin Gyatso,
the 14th Dalai Lama
Join us tonight for our
Parish Reconciliation Service
at 7pm in the church
& celebrate the forgiveness
that is already yours!
